I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve. I am going to try to catch the fireworks in my hometown.

I have been working on my resolutions. I prefer to think of them as goals. They look increasingly familiar to the goals of the last few years...eat less, exercise more, swear less, think more, improve your art work, travel somewhere warm, take a good workshop...!

I think I will just let this sit and be away from it for a while. It always surprises me how much you can be involved in a painting and how blind you can be to what is going on it. Time and distance can often point out a lot of mistakes.

The first thing I did was drop one figure. I don't like their faces. I may knock back the santa fe logo and Indian detour images although I would like to keep them for the historic reference. I am, as usual, letting the source photo influence me rather too much but I hope to move beyond that. We will see. Could end up being a big old paint-over.

A few years back I took part in the shows as one of the Fort Steele, BC Artists. A lady I met there commissioned me to make a small portrait of her grand daughters dressed for their visit. They were lovely. I was pleased with the outcome.
